Unfair Business Practices

Wisconsin Statutes section 100.20 prohibits “unfair” business practices and methods of competition, as determined by the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP). DATCP may identify and prohibit “unfair” practices by rule (general order) or by special orders addressed to individual businesses. For more information, see Unfair Business Practices details.
